Yes Walt: You are quite right, but once again i would caution that it isn't as simple as that; if you can go back over all the trouble i had with my Stainz, powered tender combo, derailing you will get a better idea. My Stainz is older and has done more klicks than my tender and when i set them up to start they run for months without any trouble. Then it started to derail in the same spot all the time but only in one direction and it took much to find out the problem. I looked at everything from track camber to coupling but in the end it was an MTS problem, or more correctly an MTS solution. It seems the tender had run itslef in and its speed had improved slightly and it was getting to go faster then the Stains and it was causing it to jackknif e on a right hand curve and where it was derailing all thetime was a tough right hand curve. It would actually pu***he rear of the Satinz to the left. I could run it around the track for as long as you like anticlockwise and no trouble. But the other way where there is all right curves it would derail more and more and i just slowed the tender down fractionally and i fixed the problem. I am still trying to work out why right hand curves and i have only a glimmer of a reason. rgds ian
